YOU BOUGHT THE RANCH OR FARM, NOW WHAT? 

by Hall and Hall 

The farm and ranch management business has evolved dramatically since the days when managers focused strictly on either foreclosed properties 

owned by institutions or small farms in the Midwest that were rarely visited by their owners. These days – with the exception of the traditional Midwest — farm and ranch 

owners derive a good portion of their “return on investment” from the pleasure they derive - both from visiting their property and from their personal involvement in the 

management of it. The manager’s role in providing “resource management” services can range from simply overseeing an active operation by establishing budgets, paying 

bills and sending periodic reports to full-scale day-to-day management. In the Rocky Mountain West, Southwest, Southeast and Texas, more involved owners tend to have 

a very different set of priorities than investors who are simply trying to maximize income. 

THE OVERSIGHT ROLE 

This evolution to a complex and diverse set of priorities – often 

at odds with each other — and the more active role of the owner 

has led to the redefinition of the management company’s role. It 

was simple when one had a hands-off owner who was interested 

in an income stream. That is not the case anymore. This has led 

to defining the role of the management company as providing 

“oversight” or acting as an “overseer.” This role necessarily begins 

with the identification of all the owner’s goals. This can be a complex 

process with the property manager often driving the discussion and 

forcing everything out on the table, so to speak. This leads to the 

development of a management plan for the property that recognizes 

these goals. This in turn results in the development of a budget for 

the implementation of the plan. 

The manager’s role in all of this can be very complex, but his or 

her most important task is to ask the hard questions. There are 

essentially three areas that need to be addressed: 

• Day-to-day operation of whatever crop or livestock enterprises 

that can provide cash flow such as a cow/calf operation, farming, 

timber production, hunting or fishing 

• Activities that are designed to enhance the value of the real 

estate such as increasing crop production or livestock carrying 

capacity or the enhancement of habitat for wildlife or fisheries 

• Identifying the owner’s use of the property and priorities in 

terms of dealing with family and guests, and maintaining the 

infrastructure and improvements that are specifically for the 

owner’s use and enjoyment 

These all call for hard questions to be asked and priorities to be 

established. When all this has been taken care of, the oversight role 

begins and it can be extremely delicate. A good management firm is 

able to strike that critical balance between too much management 

and too little. Often a small tweak here and there is all it takes to 

keep everyone on a positive track. 

ADVANTAGES OF THE OVERSIGHT ROLE 

It is a fair question to ask “why should one invest in oversight?” 

Perhaps that question is best answered by outlining the advantages 

of this relationship. 

Potential conflict between owner and manager – Essentially what 

is good for the on-site manager — such as a full complement of 

equipment and labor — can be a budget buster for the owner. 

On the flip side, there are owners who are willing to spend more 

for equipment and labor than managers expect. Owners are 

often not aware of what a manager has to go through on a daily 

basis to deliver a quality experience for the owner. Balancing the 

requirements of the livestock, farming, wildlife/fisheries operations 

with asset management concerns, enhancement of the property’s 

resources, dealing with the owners and their family and guests, 

and ensuring their personal enjoyment of the ranch all factor in at 

differing levels. Cash flow and profitability often become secondary 

priorities. The ranch manager’s role becomes very complicated. A 

third-party overseer can help the owner understand how difficult 

this can be. He or she can bridge the gap between the owner and 

the manager and help them discover the best mix. The oversight 

role makes it possible to identify and remedy problems before they 

become insoluble and lead to hard feelings. 

Flexibility – As noted earlier, the oversight role can range from 

simply establishing budgets and paying bills with periodic reports 

to full-scale day-to-day management and everything in between. 

Depending on how things are working, the overseer’s involvement 

may be scaled back as the on-site manager becomes more 

comfortable with the owner’s expectations. 

Cost savings – The Oversight Manager can help out in many ways 

in this area: 

The oversight role can be tailored to allow an involved owner to hire 

a less expensive onsite manager who might have “gaps” in his or 

her resume that can be filled by the overseer. Typical gaps might 

be things like financial management, wildlife/fisheries and habitat 

knowledge, or communication skills. 

In the area of marketing crops, livestock, and wildlife or working 

with outfitters and buying equipment, a management company is 

generally active in these marketplaces for other clients and can save 

a manager time and money by providing input in these areas. 

If high-quality contractors are needed to perform work on the 

ranch, a management company will typically have relationships 

with proven operators who will have an incentive to provide highlevel 

services because they know they will have future opportunities 

if they provide good service at a competitive price. 

In summary there are three underlying themes that must be 

addressed by the modern-day oversight manager: 

The first one is helping owners identify their goals and objectives 

for the ranch or farm. Whether the goal is agriculture, recreation, 

return on investment or some combination, the manager must help 

identify those goals and get all parties pointed in the same direction. 

The second theme is a matter of pure economics. The most 

expensive issue in ranch ownership is management turnover. It is 

both stressful and time consuming to have to deal with replacing 

a management team. The oversight role is specifically designed 

to avoid this through subtle communication and identifying 

everyone’s expectations up front. 

The third underlying theme is that, for many involved owners, a 



significant part of their “return on investment” comes from what we call the “psychic return” which 

basically means the pleasure they derive from their property. The fact that the oversight role identifies 

and solves problems for owners allows them to have greater peace of mind and enjoyment of the 

property. Owners always know they have someone on their team looking out for their interests. The 

oversight role — more than anything else — is designed to maximize this aspect of farm or ranch 

ownership. 

RETAINED SEARCH – HIRING RANCH MANAGERS AND CARETAKERS 

While the above discussion outlines the importance of the oversight role in farm and ranch 

management, it is fair to say that the hiring of the right on-site manager is arguably the most 

important part of the process. It is often the first step — and a very critical one. While this is separate 

and distinct from the ongoing overseer role, it is a key part of the management company’s job. It 

most definitely addresses two of the critical themes mentioned above – i.e. minimizing the cost and 

maximizing the return on ranch ownership. 

For us, the retained search process begins with a job description — perhaps the most important 

part of the process. It is critical because one of the biggest causes of manager turnover is unmet 

expectations on either side. We try to ask tough questions which help the owner to be very specific 

about what his or her expectations are of the on-site manager that is to be hired. 

The next step is to accumulate candidates through our internal database, our many contacts 

throughout the industry and through advertising the position. Preliminary interviews and our ability 

to check on people because of our many relationships throughout our region allow us to narrow the 

field to a manageable number and then work with the owner to further refine the list. 

These finalists are interviewed on the ranch with the owner. The interview process is quite rigorous. 

It is our role to ask the hard questions and make sure that everything is covered. Often an owner will 

tend to gloss over important issues that actually need to be addressed up front. 

The end result is that, when the owner makes a final selection, everyone’s expectations are out on the 

table and both parties are fully invested in making the relationship work. We insist on following up 

with periodic reviews. Our experience has been that, on the rare occasions where people’s needs and 

goals change, the communication has been well-established and the transition to the next manager 

or caretaker is a relatively painless one — contrary to the situation that occurs when there is a real 

management breakdown. 

SUMMARY 

Farm and ranch management has evolved dramatically over the last half century. This begins with the 

refinement of the retained-search process to ensure that the right on-site manager is hired and will 

be successfully retained. It also involves the very delicate oversight role of the management company 

that now goes way beyond income generation to encompass the active involvement of an absentee 

owner as well as habitat enhancement that recognizes that the appreciation of the asset is as important 

as the income generated. It is critical to remember that individuals and families are now prepared to 

pay for much more than just animal units or bushels of grain when they invest in a farm or ranch. 

Progressive management companies have had to adapt to recognize this. ✫
